  2. The Participants

  3. Outline • Objectives • Background • Research • Conclusion • Acknowledgments

  4. Objectives • Analyze the importance of size • Synthesis of nanoparticles • Identify and characterize nanoparticles in health and beauty

  5. Background and Motivation • Daizy Philip-green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles • Can we actually make silver and gold? • Nanotechnology and nanoparticles awareness

  6. Size • 1 nm = 10-9 m • Nanoparticle =? • Why is size importance? • Chemical features • Reactivity • Color

  7. Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles • Green synthesis • Gold via Honey • Gold via Hibiscus plant • Silver via chemicals & Geranium plant

  8. Synthesis

  9. Microscopy and Spectroscopy Instruments • Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) • Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis) • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) • Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

  10. Scanning Electron Microscope • Electron Beam • Magnification capabilities • EDAX software • Uses

  11. Characterization-Scanning Electron Microscope 500 nm

  12. EDAX Software Elemental analysis confirms the nanoparticles are gold 200 nm

  13. Health and Beauty • Synthetic vs. ‘natural’ make up Synthetic Natural

  14. Conclusion • Appreciation of nanotechnology and nanoparticles • Successful synthesis of gold • Application, Careers, Society

  15. Future Work • Continue to explore green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles • Composition of make up • Negative factors of nanoparticles to the environment

  16. Acknowledgments • Dr. Doug Kohls (Project PI) • Kelly Cross (GA) • Andrea Burrows (Grant Coordinator) • Dr. Anant Kukreti (Lead PI)
